It’s always so fascinating to see how stylists incorporate the latest runway trends into editorial shoots. This time around, it’s no different with this shoot showcasing large floral prints styled by Hanna Teare and photographed by Ruven Afanador for Town and Country.  The combination of coordinating florals, textures and colors make quite an impact and could easily translate to a printed invitation.

Hope you have an inspiring weekend!

There’s no bigger honor than to be published in the top wedding magazine and we think it goes without saying that we are beyond thrilled to have our new Presidio suite featured in the Summer issue of Martha Stewart Weddings!

It was an exhilarating experience for our design team to work with the editors of Martha Stewart Weddings to create this new suite. The process was similar to what any Dauphine Press bride or groom can expect when working with one of our exclusive retailers — sharing details of the wedding, pouring over design inspiration and our design elements to customize the perfect wedding suite. You can read {and see} more on the design inspiration in our Presidio Suite Spotlight post.

Are you inspired by the geometric pattern and palette of greens and gold on Presidio? Do you love the classic fonts and smart border on the invitation card, but want to see them in your wedding color palette? We’re ready to get started designing your custom wedding stationery so visit your local exclusive retailer today and enjoy every step of our custom design process.

We are thrilled to share with you our latest Suite Spotlight! Our Presidio suite is one we have kept under wraps for a few months now and we are delighted that it is finally making its debut this week here on our blog, on our website and in Martha Stewart Weddings magazine. We think you will find it perfectly on trend and we hope that it fulfills your needs for another stunning take on an Art Deco-inspired event.

First, the breathtaking inspiration:

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10

This sophisticated letterpress wedding invitation suite was created for a modern wedding, featuring bold palm graphics and layers of geometric patterns. For the couple that values high design, this collection would be suitable for any extraordinary event in an endless number of color combinations and print techniques. Presidio was originally designed in jade {a custom color!} and sea glass letterpress inks with a splash of saffron gold. We are looking forward to its future customizations, as we are sure we will soon see requests for this suite in brilliant foils mixed with an array of letterpress inks. A few we’re dying to print – rose gold foil with blush and champagne inks, gold foil printed on an elegant duplexed black card or in combination with deep teal ink!

What is your idea of the perfect palette for Presidio? Contact one of our exclusive retailers to share your vision and start designing your stationery wardrobe today!

We are huge fans of pattern here at Dauphine Press and this image is a great example of why — the bold pattern backdrop in shades of gray really allows the other colors to pop … the perfect formula for home decor as well as stationery design!

Hope you have an inspiring weekend!

Chevron stripes have been around for a long time – dating all the way back to Greek pottery and as current as the mod fashions of the 70s – but it seems that the current resurgence is making a big splash in every aspect of life: fashion, interior design and stationery! The geometric boldness is perfectly suited to make a statement, like this skirt from the spring Anthropolgie collection.

A bit like these striking images from the Anthropologie catalog, our Carneros design blends a graphic chevron pattern with a botanical wreath monogram detail on this letterpress wedding invitation suite, finding the perfect balance between modern and traditional.

Are you in love with this trend as much as we are? Want to incorporate this new trend into your wedding stationery? Visit one of our exclusive retailers and start designing your custom letterpress wedding stationery today! Don’t forget about our Spring Promotion running through the end of June!
